I've got a nearly new DTA S40 with innovate wideband sat here from my zetec turbo. To save it going to waste I'm contemplating sticking it on the Clio.
My questions are:-
Is it capable (spec wise) of running on a Ph1 with all the sensors, VVT etc.?
Will it cause issues with dash lights...
I can send mine off, have them matched, blasted and painted for £150 including return delivery. The guys work is second to none so I'll see if I can get a spare inlet set unless I go for yeecup's
Dan,
I don't know how much experience you have of maps by A: RS Tuning or B: custom Henk map.
To gauge the difference of the cams I was going to take my car to a local dyno dynamics RR with matched inlets, 182 manifold, ktec sports cat, ktec cat back and RS tuner map. Then fit the cams and...
For a genuinely quick car yes it's much cheaper. No denying that.
My Fiesta with n/a zetec and a short gearbox felt fast enough with 814kg including me as driver and a full tank of fuel and the interior. That was 195bhp and 150lbft. With the Clio the same figures won't feel very quick, it's got...
It's louder than a standard cat obviously but not as loud as a straight through decat. Quite a nice sound but it depends what exhaust you're running.
I find on youtube people usually have a straight through decat and no centre box.
I've got a Ktec system with centre box and back box so its...
Cheapest isn't always the worst ;) . I've been looking at Ktec, Jamsport etc. and there's a good looking manifold on ebay but again that's Ph2. I'm in talks with the guy who ports heads for me at the moment.
The ones on here are always Ph2 inlets, no good for me. And I don't want to buy a lower...
Not sure, I've got an RS tuner unlocked now and I was going to get a custom map from Fastchip. They would probably run fine on a generic remap though.
There are no tuners around here to do a custom map so a remote one is the only option. As for checking its running ok there are a couple of good...
No the 182 decat is quite different.
I'll have a silenced Ktec decat for sale tomorrow. I'm after £80

I'm looking at getting a spare gearbox to rebuild for my Ph1 and want to fit a shorter final drive. A 4.21 would do nicely and you can get these in the JB1 as well as a 4.5 final.
Could the crownwheel and pinion be fitted to a ph1 or cup box?
No I sent them in the end of last week so I'll fit them as soon as I get them back as the dephaser needs changing.
clio_dude gave them some good feedback so I'll give them a go :)
Have a search on here for Piper vs 428 . Apart from being noisy they were good but it sounds like this shim kit...
Yes. They come with a shim kit now though to go under the lifters. This resolves issues they had previously being a bit noisy.
I've run regrinds on two cars previously too with no issue :)
I've managed to get a Ktec recessed exhaust for a decent price but I'll need to chop the bumper.
Are there any templates for doing this cutout available?
I've gone for the Pipers as they give good gains for the money compared with some of the others but I know a few guys are happy with the 421/438 Catcams which are a bit more aggressive that the 428 Catcams. A few of the traders on here do them along with a remap to suit.
